Although he successfully got rid of the Erlaizi family, Zhao Quan did not feel relieved, because this unexpected disaster not only left him without money for food, but also left him with a lot of debt.

At this point, he also realized that Hua Qing's female student was not as easy to fool as Wu Shengnan, and he couldn't get any money out of her at all.

So even though she seemed to be richer than Wu Shengnan, Zhao Quan decided to give up and look for his next target.

However, before he could even take action, another accident occurred.

Misfortune never comes singly. A few days later, Zhao Quan slipped and fell down the stairs after accidentally stepping on something slippery.

The fall was quite severe, breaking his leg completely—a comminuted fracture.

Because he couldn't afford hospitalization, he could only get a simple bandage after the surgery and then return to his dormitory to recover. Oh, and the school teachers helped him raise the money for the surgery.

But because of this, he couldn't attend classes anymore. He needed someone to take care of him for everything, including eating, drinking, and using the toilet. His roommate took care of him for a few days but then got tired of it. After all, other people also needed to study and had no obligation to take care of him every day.

Moreover, Zhao Quan didn't have much money, so he didn't eat well, which made his recovery even slower.

Finally, the school suggested that he take a leave of absence to go home and recuperate, and then come back when he is fully recovered.

After thinking about it, Zhao Quan had no choice but to agree.

So the school bought him a ticket and sent him home.

As a result, when he got off the train, he was pushed by the crowd and accidentally fell. After his family finally took him to the hospital, an examination revealed that he had suffered a second injury.

Even if it heals completely, it will likely leave lasting effects.

Zhao Quan became quite agitated because of this, and his temper worsened.

After that, he started yelling at his family members and scolding them at the drop of a hat. He also looked down on his wife who had given birth to his son. Gradually, his family members couldn't stand him anymore and stopped taking care of him as much.

As you can imagine, his leg never fully recovered.

Zhao Quan is now lame.

At this point, it had been more than a year since he had taken a leave of absence. The school had only given him one year; if he did not return, he would be automatically expelled.

But how could Zhao Quan, who was already lame, go to school? He couldn't bear the shame.

So, in the end, he didn't get to go to university.

The people in the county town soon learned of this and all felt sorry for him.

But since it had already happened, his former employer took pity on him and arranged for his younger brother to work in the workshop.

This way, their family can at least have some income.

As for Zhao Quan, after losing his job, his personality became increasingly extreme, and he acted like everyone owed him something.

Finally, Zhao's mother couldn't take it anymore and directly separated the family, setting up a separate household for the three of them.

Zhao Quan was unable to earn money and was disabled, with nowhere to go. In the end, his wife stayed by his side and took him back to her parents' home, making him a son-in-law who moved into her family home. His son also changed his surname to his wife's.

In order to avoid starving to death, he had no choice but to accept it.

Even after the reform and opening up, Zhao Quan was still unwilling to accept his fate. He secretly took all of his family's savings and went out to try his luck. In the end, his business failed and he was left with a mountain of debt.

His wife divorced him after hearing the news, and his son refused to acknowledge him as his father. In the end, he became destitute and starved to death on the street.

This was his final fate.

Of course, that's a story for another time.
